All
true Christians are Trinitarians. We worship the one true God in the trinity,
or tri-unity of his sacred persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as he is
revealed and known in the person and work of his only begotten Son, the Lord
Jesus Christ.

Trinity

Let
no one misunderstand our doctrine. We are Trinitarians. We hold to and rejoice
in the works of God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, as well as the works of
God the Son, in the matter of salvation. We delight in eternal election and
predestination as sovereign works of God the Father. He chose us. He
predestinated all things needful for our salvation. Our hearts ever rejoice in
the redemptive work of God the Son. We recognize the necessity of and give
thanks for regeneration and sanctification by God the Holy Spirit. No one will
ever enter into heaven without the Father's election, the Son' redemption, and
the Spirit's sanctification. There is perfect harmony in the blessed Trinity.

Salvation

Read
the first chapter of Ephesians one more time. There the apostle Paul tells us
that our everlasting salvation was planned and purposed by God the Father (vv.
3-6), purchased by God the Son (vv. 7-12), and effectually applied and sealed
to the hearts of chosen sinners by God the Holy Spirit (vv. 1314). Salvation is
the work of the triune Godhead "to the praise of the glory of his
grace!" Be sure you understand that.

Divine Purpose

Yet,
it is the purpose of the triune God to glorify and exalt the God-man, the Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Mediator and Substitute, the second Person of
the blessed Trinity, in the redemption and salvation of his people. It is the
purpose of God that Christ be pre-eminent and glorious in the work of
redemption and in the esteem of all the redeemed (Carefully read John 3:35;
5:22-23; Col. 1:18-19; 2:9-10).

Christ is the Word which God has exalted
above all his name (Ps. 138:2). This is a lesson we must learn. It is both the
most basic, essential and the most profound of all truths revealed in Holy
Scripture. "CHRIST IS ALL!" You will never understand the Word
of God in any spiritual sense until you realize that in the Book of God, Christ
is all. You will never know the living God at all, until you see that in the
knowledge of God, Christ is all. You will never obtain the peace of pardon,
justification, and reconciliation with God, until you are made to know that in
the work of redemption Christ is all. You will never obtain that holiness
without which no man shall see the Lord, until you are made to see that in the
matter of true righteousness, holiness, and sanctification Christ is all.
